-Emergency Rental Assistance for Connecticut’s Economy- 

As of February 15^th, 2022 the UniteCT program has suspended new rent and electric application submissions and recertification intake.  Tenants and landlords who have a Rent Relief Case # will have until March 31^st, 2022 to complete their applications.  Any cases not fully completed by March 31^st, 2022 will be withdrawn from the case review process. Fully submitted cases are reviewed in accordance with the program guidelines and availability of Treasury's funding. 

UniteCT Program is administered by the Department of Housing on behalf of the US Treasury. UniteCT provides up to $15,000 rental and electricity payment assistance on behalf of Connecticut households financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. UniteCT is stabilizing CT’s rental housing market by financially supporting those households up to 80% of HUD’s Area Median Income (AMI).
